Tracie

Tracie is an English feminine given name functioning as an alternate spelling of Tracy, which itself derives from a French surname taken from the Norman place name Tracy-Bocage in Normandy, ultimately rooted in a Gallo-Roman personal name. The place name element is thought to connect to the Latin personal name Thracius, meaning of Thrace, referring to the ancient region in southeastern Europe. Tracy gained widespread use as a given name in the twentieth century, particularly in the United States and Britain, partly boosted by its appearance as a character name in popular culture. Related forms include Tracy, Tracey, and the masculine use of the same name.
